Hey there friends!
I am here today to share an easy way to remove stickers off of an object.
We recently replaced our back door after installing it, I needed to remove those stickers they add to them. Yeah, I didn't get a picture of the actual stickers, but did get some after I tried peeling the stickers off. Here is the window on the door:

Hey there Scrappy Friends!
Have you scrapped your wedding photos yet?
I have only scrapped a few so far.
I am here today to share a layout I created for my wedding album. Of course, I used the Best Glue Ever, because it really is the best glue ever!
I used the January Hip Kit Club kit for this page:

I added some watercolor to my background and then added a few layers behind my photo, including a frame. I also added lots of ephemera:

I love adding dimension to my pages by adding some foam behind my embellishments. The Best Glue Ever is perfect for adhering the foam to my layout:

Hey there!
It's my day to post on the Off The Rails Blog today. I decided to share a layout where I created a frame using washi tape and added some stitching. I used my favorite washi tape- the black and white stripped- it's from Michaels. I also used Fancy Pants True Friend for my layout:

I created my grid using a photo and project life cards. Once I had those glued down, I just tore some washi tape and created a square around the grid. After I had that done, I used my sewing machine to add zig zag stitching around my frame. I love the texture this creates and it also helps secure my washi tape.

I choose to do the entire square with the black and white striped washi tape and used small pieces of the teal and white striped to fill in where the black and white was thin. You could do this with multiple colors of washi tape or create a few squares of different colors around the grid.

Hello!
Bug Me is the theme for the new Cards In Envy challenge today. The challenge is to create a card with a bug or an insect on it. Check out their blog for a complete list of rules for playing along.
I used My Minds Eye Lost & Found for my card and stamped some dragonflies on white cardstock. I added a silver Nuvo marker and Stickles to add a bit of color to the dragonflies:

I cut the clouds on my Cameo quite some time ago and can't remember where the cut file came from. I added some ink and stamped a sentiment to the solid one. I stitched the other two.

Hello and happy Sunday!
Hope you are enjoying your weekend!
It's my turn to post the card sketch challenge over at Creative Inspiration today. I enjoyed playing with the sketch!
I used Paper House Productions Wedding Day and came up with this wedding card:

Check out that glittered blue background paper. Isn't it gorgeous?

I added a small border punched border and a doily. I fussy cut the heart from another Paper House paper and added hand stitching around it using blue floss. I added a bow and for my sentiment, I used one of Paper Houses 3D Stickers.

Happy Friday friends!
I finished up a layout this morning using a sketch at Sketch-N-Scrap along with some old JilliBean Soup. My co worker decorated the kitchen with black streamers and balloons for my 50th birthday. She also had chocolate everywhere!

I stitched the two patterned papers together with a zig zag stitch. I added some diecuts and stickers:

More diecuts and stickers along with a few fussy cut owls:

The "Surprise" rub-on has been in my stash forever and is from the Dollar Store. I also added another "surprise" rub-on down in the lower right side. That one is from Scenic Route. Remember them? I loved their stuff!

Hey there!
I am sharing a layout I created for the tic tac toe challenge at Scrap Our Stash. I used Simple Stories and American Crafts for this fun page of Sierra and I along with our Photo bomber- Scott:

I added a few layers behind my photos and added stitching. I also added some Simple Stories stickers:

I cut my title on my Cameo and then added Gelatos to color it. I added a Polaroid cut from Cameo as well. I fussy cut the camera from patterned paper and popped it up with foam tape:

The arrows were cut from Cameo as well and I colored them with watercolor and Gelatos. I stitched threw them and then added brads from my stash throughout my layout:

Hello and happy hump day!
I had some free time this morning and decided to play along with the August 1st challenge at CSI.
I used a bunch of stuff from my stash:
KaiserKraft paper (blue & green paper)
Amy Tan Plus One (grey paper and fussy cut feathers)
Pink Paislee (transparent pieces & "Blue Skies" diecut)
Dear Lizzie (fussy cut flowers, this piece is new and the mason jar)

My title is a variety of pieces: EK Success mini alphas, fussy cutting (adventure) and an old rub-on:

I used watercolors and Gelatos to paint my fussy cut flowers. I also added some Tim Holtz and Sn@p word phrases:

I love this fussy cut mason jar! I added some periwinkle colored thread to add some more texture to my page:
